.IQRE MARKET! AND COTIKEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market continues to receive a large number of applications for monetary assistance, but the supply of capital afloat remains abundant. :Brokers, however, still evince much caution in their 'negotiations, because they believe that aflairs are yet in a state of transition. The terms, therefore, reqaired for granting accommodation show no material change. Within the past day or two a alight concession has been made, by taking short• dated paper with bankers' acceptance at 84 per cent., but the general rate remains at 8; per cent. About £13,000 in gold, principally French, was taken into the Bank yesttrlay. The Poonah, which left today for India and ell it:a, conveyed £147,984 in specie. Daring the past few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugars have barely sustained former prices. Coffee, however, has continued in fair re , quest at steady rates. Ia tea the dealings have been of an unimportant character, while in rice, fruit, and spices there has been little variation. Tallow has been in moderate request. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 42s 9d, 42s 6d; and last three Months' delivery, 43J 91 per owt. Two O'CLOCK.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. DISORDERLY CONDUCT AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. —Mr. Herbert Hampson, dentist, of No. 7, Dorset-square, Regent's-park,was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly at Her Majesty's Theatre. Mr Herring, jun., appeared for the prisoner. George Meekings, 233 H, deposed that, about a quarter past 11 o'clock the previous night, he was on duty in the promenade at Her Majesty's Theatre,when ho saw the pri• soner and two other gentlemen and three females appa rently coming from the refreshment department at the back of the Orchestra. He saw the prisoner strike one of the females and knock her down. He told the prisoner not to behave in such a violent manner, and some of the others picked the female up. The prisoner then behaved in a very violent manner, and said ho would knock any one down who came near him. As the prisoner was drunk and re fused to be quiet, he was obliged to take him into custody. Inspector Kettle, A division, proved hearing the prisoner having high words with one of the females, and hearing a fall. He after% ards saw a female picked up, and heard the prisoner saying to ona of the females, " You --, I'll knock you down." The prisoner also threatened to knock him (the inspector) down. In answer to Mr Herring, jan., the inspector said it was the first night of the concerts, but there was no general disturbance. The females used bad language to the prisoner. The female did not charge the prisoner with assaulting her. Mr Herring, jun., addressed the magistrate on the prim). nor's behalf. Mr Tyrwhitt said it was one of those disgraceful scenes which frequently occurred, and that if the woman had at tended to give evidence the prisoner would have found him self in a very different position. The prisoner was then fined 40s. or a month's imprison ment. The business of the court did not commence till nearly an hour after the proper time—ten o'clock. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE AT A TAY ERN.—John Hibbert, a man who is stated to be well known to the police, was charged with the following gross and dangerous acts of wilful damage. A respectable woman, living near the Globe Tavern, Cross-street, Chelsea, said that she saw the prisoner last night near her yard, and he left in the direction of the Globe with half a brick in his hand. By the time he could have reached the Globe she heard a smash. Two other witnesses were called. It was clearly shown by their evidence that tho defendant was the person who had thrown the brickbat through the window of the Globe Tavern. He then ran into a yard and concealed himself. Mr Calver, the proprietor of the Globe Tavern, said that his family had been placed in the most imminent danger by this wanton and disgraceful attack. He was sitting at his supper last night at 10 o'clock, when he heard a dreadful crash, and found that a large pane of plate glass of consi. deiable value in the front of the house had been broken by a brickbat. This missile had been:thrown with so much force that it also carried away part of the gas burner and went to the remote end of the bar parlour. Had he or his wife beeen standing in their usual place between the bar and parlour they might have been killed. Mr Selfe asked whether the defendant had been to the house last night ? Mr Calver replied he had not. Mr Selfe inquired the supposed reason for this outrage. Mr Calver explained that the defendant and some com panions had come to his house for the express purpose of insulting him some time ago, when, in consequence of there offensive conduct, he ordered them out of the house. Defendant denied the offence. Mr Selfe—lt has been clearly proved, and I shall commit you for six weeks to hard labour in the House of Correction• THAMES. EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF PLUNDER,—Three men, named Benjamin Russell, William Byerman or Bearman, and David Fitzgerald, were brought before Mr Paget, charged, the two first with stealing, and the third with receiving, knowing to be stolen, upwards of seven tons of animal char coal, valued at £lOO, the property of Lewis Cowan and Sons, soap.makers, sugar-refiners, and animal charcoal manufac turers, Barnes, Surrey, and Wapping, Middlesex, ___ _ _ . _ . Mr Charles Young, solicitor, defended Fitzgerald ; Mr Gomar, from the office of Mr Hodgson, solicitor, defended Byerman. Mr Cowan, jun., said that Byerman and Russell had worked for the firm. There had been an alarming deficiency of stock. He believed as much as 100 tons of animal char coal, valued at £l4 per ton, had been stolen. Russell left the service of the firm a week ago. Inspector Thomas Clark, of the Thames Police, stated that, at four o'clock on Monday morning he saw Russell in a barge laden with animal oharcoal off Wapping. Beyer man stepped out of another barge into the one in which the charcoal was, and navigated her down the river. At Black wall the prisoner Russell placed the barge containing the charcoal alongside the Guaranteed Manure Company's wharf. Russell left the barge and went on shore. Weights and settles were lowered into the barge, and men came and commenced working the charcoal on shore. Fitzgerald was at the head of a gang of workmen superintending their operations. He went up to Fitzgerald and asked him for whom he was receiving the stuff, to which he replied, from the lighterman. He asked Fitzgerald if his employers had given him orders to receive the stuff, and the answer was, no. He had previously seen four or five bags of animal charcoal landed from the barge. Ile afterwards took Fitz • gerald into custody for receiving the animal charcoal, well knowing it to be stolen. William Adams, a Thames Police-constable, No. 27, said that he saw Beyerman at Execution Dock, Wapping, on Monday morning. Beyerman asked him if he had seen a waterman named Burwood, and then had some con versatien with Russell on the prosecutor's charcoal barge. He and the Inspector Clark then followed the barge to Blackwall. When Russell was taken into custody on Mon day afternoon, he said "I have been drawn into this by the foreman Beyerman." George Roberts, Thames police-constable No. 46, said he took Beyerman into custody on the Plough-wharf ,Black.. wall, and upon telling him the charge, he said, "I did not steal the charcoal; I am merely the seller." Mr Charles Young en id he had a very short but decisive answer to make for Fitzgerald, who was a respectable, honest man, 67 years of age, and merely received the goods by order of his employers, and did not know they were stolen. Mr Henry Honester Worth, of No. 30, Chester-place, Kennington-cross, said ho was in the service of Messrs It. W. Goole and Co., proprietors of the Guaranteed Manure Company's Wharf, Blackwall. He had managed the business, He had known Beyerman as W. G. Wilson for nine months. A fortnight ago he gave Beyerman an order for six or seven tons of charcoal. The price was to be £3 15s per ton. He had dealt with Beyerman as W. G. Wilson for charcoal. It was the duty of Fitzgerald, as foreman of the wharf, to receive the barge load of charcoal. Mr Cowan said that the charcoal was worth £l4 per ton, and, according to the evidenco of the witness Werth, it was purchased for £3 15s per ton, a little more than a fourth of its value. Mr Charles Young said the Messrs Goole were in a large way of business. Mr Cowan, jun.—And buying our charcoal at £3 15s per on. There are 300 tors of charcoal on Goole's premises— the Guaranteed Manure Company's Wharf. I hope none of the charcoal will be removed while this case is pending. It is a matter of the most serious importance. Mr Paget—Messrs Goole will no doubt assist the police in this case. None of the charcoal must be removed. , Mr Cowan, jun.—There are 300 tons of animal charcoal on Goole's premises—we have been robbed to an alarming extent. Mr Paget then remanded the prisoners until Tuesday next, taking one surety in tho sum of £lOO for Fitzgerald's appearance, His master, Mr Goole, bailed him. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

The following were some of the sales ;—Mr Greatham, of Stainfield, 24 rams, total £415 10s, average £l7 16a 3d each—Mr Mania, of Kirmond, 18 rams, total £219 15s, average £l2 4s 2d—alr Rudgard, Bunker's hill, 14, £lOB 10s, average £7 15s—Mr Gilliatt, of Marten, 26 for £202, average £9 15a 10d—Mr E. J. Howard, Nocton, 11, £loo—Mr Remp, Hadby, 44, £433 158—Mr Wright, Nocton-heath, 52, £632, average £l2 3s. This lot included the sheep which took the first and second prizes at Newcastle—the first was bought by Mr Holmes, of Nettle ham, for £49, and the latter by Mr Cartwright for £3s— Mayfield, of Dog-dyke, 35 rams, £352 average, £lO is lid—Mr Marriott, of Bleasby, Wood me of the rams of Mr Marehall for £5O.

The two years old races on the Continent are but few, the only events of that description until the present advanced period of the season being a sweepstakes at Chantilly in the spring, the Prix de la Ville at Moulins, and the Prix de l'Avenir at Baden. With a race for two and three years old horses, also at the last-named place. For that reason the first day of the Autumn Meeting at Chantilly is looked forward to with some interest, the two Criteriums, one for two years old col s, and the other for fillies of the same age, generally bringing out some of the best produce of their year. Such was the case yesterday, and, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather, which settled down into an almost continued rain throughout the afternoon, a considerable number of persons were on the ground. The business commenced with a race for 4-yr.olds, for which favour was about equally divided between Nobility and Guillaume-le-Taciturne. Mr Carter's mare had, how ever, to give the Stadtholdereseven pounds, in addition to the sex's allowance, as a penalty for previous winnings ; this was just sufficient to decide the race, as Nobility, after making the running throughout, was beaten at the stands by half a length. The co l t ' s 2 yr - o ld race followed, and brought out 14 starters, th e D u k e d e Morny's West Aus tralian colt Clermont, th e w i nner o f the Prix de l'Avenir and Prix do Carlsruhe a t B a d en , being favourite at the short odds of five to four, which betting was proved to be correct, by his winning by a length. T he Prix de S y lvie, a selling race, came neat, th e w i n ner, M. Aumont's Dame Bl a nche being bought in b y h er owne r for 40 00 f, one half ) re verting to the race fund. The fillies' 2-yr-013 race same next, and was won, after a very pretty contest, in which seven of the horses ran abreast over a great part of the ground, and to within a short distance of the judge's chair, when M. Dalamarre's Anecdote, a half sister to Cantonnade and Rouis Roussel, came out and passed first by a length. Neither Clermont nor Anecdote is engaged in the Grand Prix de Paris of 1865. Anecdote is entered for both Derby and Oaks of next year, but not the Duke do ishrny's horse. The business terminated with the great Chantilly prize of 10,000 Fr,, which was naturally looked upon as a certainty for Vermouth, and the more so when it became known salheenonello that neither Dollar, Fille-de-l'Air, nor Straddle. would start. M. Delamarre's horse was not, however, allowed to walk ever for the money, as, among, otthheersN,i,inGneed:oonf and Baronollo were brought against him ; t h e former had not run since the spring, when he won the Prix de Longcharaps at Paris, and was said to have vastly fresh h lear lead, and tried meeting, but whose uncertain ittmehmepprervrieadhlaSdstinaakcleewsaatyhtBetlihseince destroyed whatever chances he t w th un a jockey, who, it was more successful in overc • • hoped, might be .., owing his fracti ousness, Vermouth's tactics of cutting down,r but after running two . thirds of the distance with a d el!ia m lead of about ten lengths, have had, Ged e was on led off the course. Baronelle was as usual unmanageable, g s o t t ar a te v el; and ran last throughout. The followi ng are details of the he suddenly broke down dea la et and day's proceedings :--- The Prix des Hares I m periauxaf 5,000 fr, f or four-yr-olds.

Nobility led as far as the bottom of the hill the second time going round, with Guillaume lying next. On coming on to the straight, Di. sehickler's horse challenged her, ob tained the lead, and won by half a length. Reine-Berthe was a bad third. The First Critelium of 2,000 fr., for two yr old colts.

After one false start the lot got off in a line, the running being taken up by Clermont, ' ranerede, and Ambassadeur. At the booths, Ambassadeur could not continue the pan and fell back, and Clermont headed Tancrede at the stands, winning by a length. Lo Bernais was the third, three lengths behind Tancrede ; Monitor fourth, Ambassadeur fifth, Carouge sixth, and Fils-Unique last of all. The Prix de Sylvie, a Selling Race, of 2,000 f, for horses three-yr.olds and upwards, Entry, 1001; the winner liable to be claimed for 2,000 f, Distance, about 2,000 metres. Twelve subs.

Sportsman made the running to the stables, when he was passed by Dame Blanche, who then led to the finish, beat ing Rondinella, who had taken second place at the last cor ner by a half length. M. de Rosny was third a half a dozen lengths behind Rondinella. The &cond Critcr:um of 2,000 f for twc-year old fillies. Entry, 100 f. Distance, 8.,0 metres. 21 subs. &t.

Betting-2 to 1 agst the Duke de Morny's two, 6to 1 agst Anecdote, G to 1 eget Themis, 10 to 1 each agst Esme ralda and Gironette. A good start was made, the whole running well together for half the distance, when Anecdote, Giraldi, Toison d'Or, Themis, Schooner, and Count de Lagrange's two came away, and ran abreast to within a hundred yards of home. There Anecdote, Giralda, Toison d'Or, and Themis drew forward and finished the race between them, the first-named winning by a neck, with half a length between second and third ; the same interval between Toison-d'Or and Themis. The Prix de Chantil'y of 10,000 f, for horses three years old and upwards. Entry, 5001, hf. Weight for age wi'h certain penalties. Thirteen subs. Distance, about 3,200 metres.

Gedeon made the running about ten lengths in advance of Vermouth, the same interval separating M. Delamarre's horse from the other three. Opposite the villas on going round the second time Gedeon pulled up lame. Flatman then eased Vermouth, and allowed Orphelin and Filibustier to draw nearer ; and on coming on to the straight those two were at the Great Prize winner's quarters. They, however, never succeeded in getting alongside of M. Delamarre's horse, and Vermouth came in an easy winner by a good length, Filibustier being beaten by the same distance for second place.

Thomas Turupenny was indicted with feloniously inter marrying with Charlotte Shepherd, his first wife being then alive. The prosecutrix was engaged as nursemaid opposite to where the prisoner was employed, and an acquaintance sprung up between them, the prisoner representing himself as a single man. He made various excuses about intro ducing the prosecutrix to his friends, but eventually it took plane. Some time after the prosecutrix met the prisoner talking to another woman, and on her going up to them she discovered then the woman was the first wife of the prisoner. He had not ill- treated either of the women. The jury found him guilty, and the learned judge sen tenced him to twelvemonths' imprisonment. STEALING A MONEY ORDER. Edwin May, 30, clerk, was indicted with stealing a letter containing a Post-office order for £l. The letter came iLto the prisoner's possession in the course of the discharge of his duty, but it was urged in his defence that being in great want he was induced to appropriate the letter. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. STEALING A LETTER. • Edward Richards, letter carrier, was indicted with steal ing a letter, the property of the Postmaster-General. There were some circumstances connected with the case, which rendered it somewhat doubtful, but the jury round the prisoner guilty of receiving the letter, ec3. The Recorder sentenced hire to 9 months' imprisonment ASSAULTING A TICKET COLLECTOR. Patrick Flynn, Bartholomew Flynn, and Thomas Nagle, b three Irishmen, were indicted with assaultinc, Arenburg ticket collector on the South E as t ern Railway, George Osborne, G or ' a e Osborne, a polio-constable in the s ame service. From the evidence it app eare d th at the three prisoners on the night of Sunday, Aug. 28, at about half past 11 came to the Deptford station and asked some ques ions relating to the trains. They were informed that the last train had left, and then Nagle produced a third class ticket and asked if it would be available for the nest day. They were told not, and he (Arenberg) advisei them to go to New cross, where it was likely they would get a conveyance to London. They, however, commenced a disturbance, and Arenburg desired them to leave the station. This they refused to do, and one of the prisoners commenced an attack on Arenburg, Bartholomew Flynn taking hold of him and threw him down on the pavement with great force. On recovering himself Arenburg called Osborne to his assist ance, when one of the prisoners attempted to bite the evn stable. After some difficulty the prisoners were taken into custody. Arenburg, it was discovered, had sustained such severe injuries that he had been incapacitated from perform ing his duties ever since. The Recorder told the jury that he did not think the evidence was sufficient to justify them in returning a ver dict against Patrick Flynn and Nagle for the assault on the prosecutor, Arenburg. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty of the first count against Bartholomew Flinn only, but guilty against all three with respect to the assault on the police constable. The Recorder told Bartholomew Flynn he had acted with great violence, and therefore he should sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment. Patrick Flynn and Thomas Nagle were sentenced to three months. THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS,—Mr Humphrey, the coroner, resumed his inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mr Thomas Briggs, at the Town hall, Hackney. The proceedings consisted entirely of a repetition of the evidence adduced at Bow-street, yester day, and which appeared in full in our early edition. The facts of the case, as far as they are at present known, have been so frequently published that a repetition of them on the present occasion would be a perfect waste of time. The excitement occasioned by the terrible affair is :happily dying out, although a few interested persons are exerting themselves to maintain it. ART EXHIBITION ON BEHALF OF THE COTTON DISTRICTS. —The treasurers of the "Art Exhibiton for the Relief of the Distress in the Cotton Districts " have issued a balance-shcet, showing the receipts and expenses in connexion therewith, from which it apl•oars that the large sum of £2,550 was realised and paid over to the objects of the charity. The amount received for pictures, drawings, objects of art, Ro., I/whiling catalogues and ad • missions at the door, was £3,008 2s. 7d. The disbursements were £5OO, given to the Relief Emigration Fund; three sums of £ioo, and one of £3O, to the Central Relief Fund and a SUM of. £lOO to the Warehousemen and Clerk's As sociatior , Manchester. AN INHOSPITABLE INVITATION,—The police of Baden hare interdicted ladies of the demi nionde from taking part in the public amusements of that place. The following is the text of the official notification just addressed to each of them :—" Madam,—ln consequence of a measure adopted by the Grand Ducal Minister of the In terior, and the execution of which I am charged to super intend, I find myself under the necessity of interdicting to you the conversation-rooms and the public promenade. If I inform you of it by this letter, you will perceive in such a proceeding my desire to avoid a scene which would certainly be as unpleasant for you as for myself.—Accept, Madam, 40., MULLER, Or, and Ducal Commissary," The Railway Bridge at Blackfriars. Foot passengers passing over the temporary bridge a Blackfriars may now see the ruins of the old stone struc ture on the ono side, and trains of engines and carriages on the newly constructed railway bridge on the other—one telling of the days of the last century, when Fitt guided the destinies of the country, the other indicating the wonderful resources of engineering science of the present day. When the stone bridge now in course of demolition was completed political feeling ran high, and the names of Chatham-place, Earl-street, and William-street, Blackfriars, still attest the regard which was felt for the great Minister. The bridge itself was intended to have been called " Pitt Bridge." The engineers and contractors who have eparncd the Thames at this spot will not, we fear, have any honour done to their genius end enterprise such as that which the great States man received, and there will be no Cubitt-street er Peto place to hind down to posterity the names of those who, in a marvellously short period, have built the new Blackfriars bridge. Engineering science can point to no greater feat than that performed in the completion of this bridge across the Thames in little more than twelve months. The first stone of the abut meet on the Surrey side was laid on the 2d of May in last year ; the bridge, so fir as its con struction is concerned, was completed on the 21 of June this year, billesting, laying the rails, painting, and fixing the decorations only remaining to be done, end even these might have been accomplished had there been any necessity for finishing them before the viaduct was complete to Ludgate hill. The bridge is 9.:3ft in length, including abutments, and the river is crossed by 5 spans of iron, each 160 ft long ; two of these spans laid side by side from the width of the structure. The mode of building was by conreructing what is called an American truer—that is, a powerful lattice-work of timber, oored at the bottom, and strong enough to bear a load of three tons per liner! foot. This was built with its ends restingjust below the heads of the iron piers to support the permanent iron girders. Upon this staging of timber the iron bridge was put together. The main girders were first proceeded with, then the broad iron plates of the bottom were plac.:l on beams of timber sufficiently thick to admit of the lower plates of the girders being a short distance above the top, or heads, of the supporting columns. The portions of ironwork were "keyed" to each other, end stout iron angle irons at the side rivetted en to prevent any lateral movement. When this part of the work was Complete, a floor of iron was obtained on which to proceed with the building up of the cross-barrel pieces, or lattice-work, of , the completed spans, and which serve to resist cempres• • sion, and also to provide for the great tensile strain to which the bridge must be subjected. So soon as all these diagonal cross bars of iron were placed in position, and an immense iron lattice side, 16 feet in height wee formed, their ends wire rivetted end secured by broad flange pieces—and when thus secured the structure was complete. It stood, it is true, tip on the timber staging, or trust—but when this was removed, it was and is now perfectly self-sus taining. So soon as the last of the hundreds of thou sends of rivets were driven the timber was knocked from under —it had done its work, and the bridge stood, sup ported only by its iron columns and abutments. The spans of iron, though to the eye they appear perfectly horizontel, still are not so. They are "cambered," as it is termed, to the extent of five inches—that is, they arched to that smell extent only—five inches in 160 feet. Wher, however, the timber sfeging was removed, end the 600 tons of ironwork in the span was left unsupported, the centre sunk to the extent of two inches, caused by the minute compression of the plates in the upper flanges?, but when once the at. acture had been thus compressed it became all the me re rigid from the reduction of the curvature of the arch. The strain which the bridge is calculated to stand is very greatly in excess of that which can by possibility be brought upcn it by the ordinaly working of the traffic. With the view of giving additional strength there is a centre girder between the two two outer latticed ones, which assiets to carry the cross beams. This central girder is 41 fret in width, while those at the sides are only three feet wide. The " struts" are placed at intervals of four feet apart. They are bends of iron about half an inch in thickness, and vary in width from five to ten inches as the strain upon them increases. Each of them has to tear a compressive weight of three or four tons, and the lattice work between them is for the purpose of preventing their " buckling" up under the pressure. The girders which cross the bridge transversely are placed at distances of four feet to correspond with the portion of the ties and eta uts, and upon these again are laid longitudinal girders. By these transverse and longitudinal girders the whole floor is therefore clis:ded into a series of square compartments 0' wrought iron of great depth and strength. Above this framework of cells there is laid on a wrought iron floor, covered with asphalts, and over this again the sleepers and ballast for the roadway. At the top of the bridge are seen a number of bent or curved arches of iron stretching from ono side to the other. These aro placed 50 is position for the purpose a preventing lateral vibra tion, and ere secured to the upper flanges of the lattice gir ders. Between each pair of spans there is an open space to allow for the contraction and expansion of the span move meet, further facilitated by the iron roller frames upon which they rest. The spaces a-e filled up with panels of iron work, which will not prevent the slight movement caused by the extremes of the temperature of summer and winter. The supports for the bridge eve the masonry abut ments on the Surrey and Middlesex sides, and four piers, each consisting of three clusters of four iron columns, which rest upon masonry rising from the bed of the river. They have a noble appearance at high and low water, and their massive iron capitals give a suitable finish to the work. The abutments, too, era peculiarly bold end imposing in their character. The iron terminals are in keeping with the other parts of the structure. They consist of en ornamental iron scroll, beating upon it the words " London, Chatham, end Dover Railway," and the motto " 111% icte," surmounted by the royal cypher and the date " 1861." The scroll includes the shield of the City of London and the arms of the coun ties through which the railway passes. The terminals above ,ho columns are ornamented with iron bosses. The fouuda- tions of the piers, as we have explalacl on preliou 4 occa sions, were formed by sinking iron caissons an average of 28 feet below the bed of river. This work has been carried out with so much care that no subsidence has taken place in any of the piers since they were complet: I. The bridle his been built from the designs ,auoishcd by Mr Cubitt, the engineer of the London, Chatham, and Dover ; the contrac tors for the building were Messrs. Peto and Co. The first engine, with a long train of caulages attached, passed on Tuesday, half way across the new Midge towards the northern side. The train was accorapr-ic . l by Mr Thomas, the resident manager, and Mr G. Sharp, inspector of works. The levels were taken before the starting of the train, and it was found that only the slightest deflection had taken place. Another month w,ll elapse before the whole of the permanent way of the bridge will be ready for exa mination by the Goverrm-nt Inspector, and the passenger station, to be called the " Ludgate Station," now building i n Bridge-street, Blackfriars, will be ready for the public accommodation. Tho principal objr'ct of testing the southern half of the bridge has been to enable the managers of tho line to shunt the trains from the Blackfriars Station.— Bailwv Kays. METROPOLITAN ORNITHOLOGY.—It is more me_ eially in the early morning in spring and summ er idea of the wanderer through the streets may bes t form an of the extent to which the practice of keeping singing-birds and poultry prevails in particular districts of London. There, amid the closely-built and pent-up houses, in warm sunny weather, may be heard the warbling of thousands of larks, blackbirds, thrushes, and others ; whilst from back yards, from areas, and even from cellars, come the crowing of cocks, and other noises proper to the famyard. In the very densest and poorest quarters of, London, in the most dingy streets, there may te seen poultry, including ducks and geese, the two last of which, in the hot summer days, look truly miserable objects. In parts of Islington, however, and elsewhere, better accommodation, in the shape of yards of considerable extent, is provided for these bipeds. Many of the enclosures are hidden from the general view by blocks of houses, but they frequently boast of tall and spreading trees, remnants of bygone days, when the surrounding space was still open country. They are likewise often pro vided with duck ponds, supplied by the natural springs which yet exist in parts of Islington and Pentonville Ducks, geese, and other poultry are here reared in cond. derable numbers, and with tolerable success; but they are rather noisy neighbours, particularly at break of day. In one of the streets of Mayfair— not in itself an important street, yet containing a few good houses—the writer has had opportunities of observing a flock of poultry, eight hens and a cock, which every day wander about, exactly as they might do in a farm-yard. One evening, passing through the street, he saw a single ben suddenly vanish, as it were, into the bosom of the earth, and on corn-- big up to the spot, he found it was the last of the flock which had at that moment dropped through an aperture in a grarng which covered a small area in front of the house. I Here, a common hen-ladder descending in the area ex plained how this little herd of poultry was kept ; namely, in a cellar under 0 10 carriage-way, whence, of course, the cock is heard sounding his Do .Profandis at all the proper morning hours.—Chambers's .Tow nal. The colonelcy of the 18th Hussars has become vacant by the death of Lieutenant-General Byam, but neither as regards that rcgim nt or the ButTs, which, as we mentioned last week, is also vaunt, has any step been taken to select a now colonel. With the exception of Sir A. Clarke Kennedy, no line cavalry colonel has died since March, ISGI, and the vacncy caused by his death was given to Lieut.. Gen, J. Bloomfield Gough, whose claims wore indisputable on the score of long and distinguished service in the field. Of the existing cavalry generals, none of the seniors have seen active sen :co in the field. At the head of the list is Sir Charles O'Donnell, who has served abroad; but the next bstch—Lieutenant• Generals Lord Ressl3n, Hall, and Hankey—ws believe have been en gaged only on home service. Lord do lies may be sup posed to have been rewarded for his military service by the Deputy Lieutenancy of the Tower, which he has held for some time, and until we go souse way down among the major-generals we do not light upon any striking claims on the ground of good service. In the absene,, of any among the seniors, it may be fairly conjectured that Sir Charles O Donnell, who has often exhibited a most soldierly anxiety to serve on the field, is to hay° the 18th 'lnseam-4774 and A Mutinous Volunteer Corps. The martial enthusiasm of the Rochdale Volunteer Rifle Corps found expression on Saturday last in one of the snort extraordinary, and probably the most scandalous, scenes yet witneitsed in connection with what is called the great Volunteer Army of England. Under the command of Daajor Fishwick and Capt. and Adjutant Elrington, the corps, 204 strong, that day attended the general county review of volunteers held at Manchester by Col. M'Murdo, the In spector-General of Volunteers. At the close of the review the corps wore marched from the ground to a public-house in Manchester for refreshment. Here they were kept for upwards of two hours ; during these two hours the Cricketers' Inn--the name of the public-house —wee th® scene of the most disgracefully riotous dissipation. These two hours were spent in shouting, brawling, drinking, quarreling, intermingled with coarse snatches of song and orders for " snmmut to sup," amateur experiments on the drum and tromb one , bl ow i ng ou t t h e gas w i t h caps, apply ing lighted matches to cartridges, &o. Why the men were marched to a public•house at all, why they were kept thee.° drinking two hours, why their arms were not "piled," rata why they were permitted to keep a large quantity of e m _ munition in their pouches, are questions which the oID cers of the corps can best explain. Wo merely note th‘,m at present as facts requiring explanation by the officers. We are assured that the rift a were to be seen lying abort in all parte of the house—on the tables, under the tables ' under the benches of the tap r. one and parlour, on the etaircase in the bar—in fact, they were scattered about in every part of the house. Not content with turning the Cricketers Inn inside out, as the phrase is, many of the more gallant spirited of this gallant corps created a little special diver sion for their companions in arms by their flietations in the street with every pretty girl who happened to he passing. Of course these gallantries soon led to worse scenes, over which we willingiy draw a veil. About 9 o'clock the bugle sounded the "assembly," and the men literally fell into the ranks, some staggering dr unk,some without rifles,some with women on their arms, some bringing three or four rifles and the in struments of the band. Search was made for the missing bandsmen and volunteers. They could nowhere be found, and the corps were marched in sixes and sevens to the sta tion. As the train, a special, quitted the Manchester station, one of the volunteers fired off his rifle out of the carriage window. This was the signal for the rest of the corps, and throughout the journey of nearly half-an-hour a brisk run ning fire was kept up, varied by an occasional attempt at en impromptu feu de joie. At the Biuepits Station a number of passengers were nearly frightened out of their wits by being fired at in a volley by a carriage full of rifles. One of the ordinary passengers informs us that the men in the next compartment amused themselves by firing their r.rev.3ds at the partition as a curious experiment in mechanics, and that the cracking of the rifles right and left out of the car riage windows was diversified by the experiments of ama teurs on the trombone, and by hideous yellings and cat calls by way of accompaniment. As soon as the train arrived at the Rochdale Station, the commandant of the corps, Major Fishwick, took possession of the door of the carriage which he apparently believed contained the most reckless spirits among his troops, and had their names taken down by the orderly sergeant, A number of the rest, escaping from the carriages the instant the train stopped, rushed through the station gates and escaped. Several of them were brought back. vi et armis, after a hot chase, by the adjutant and forced into the ranks. As soon as the scattered remnants of the troops were got together by the officers, they were ordered to march to their head-quarters. The band—or rather so much of the band as remained and were able to play their instruments—struck up what we are told was probably intended for " See the conquering hero comes!" and this gallant corps of volunteers was marched to Summer Castle. Here they were formed up in close columns, about a quarter past 11, and addressed by the ad jutant, Capt Elrington, and Major Fishwick. We have re ceived several versions of the speeches of these gentlemen, all agreeing in their general outline. Adopting that which seems, from the character of our correspondent and from the rest of the reports to be the most con ect—Adjutant Elrington and Major Fishwick subsequently addressed the men and characterised their conduct as disgraceful in the highest degree.—Rochdale Observer.

An Imperial rescript addressed to Gen. de Berg will appear at the same time in the Warsaw Journal. THE KABYLE AND THE ARAB.—The Arab is lithe and slender in figure, and generally of an aquiline cast of countenance; the Kabyle is squarely and sturdily built, rather broad-faced, and with a nose of the typo which is described as " ordinairo" on a French passport. The normal state of the Arab is that of a wanderer and a dweller in tents : he has no instinctive attachment to the soil, and when he does take to a settled life, it is as it were under protest ; contenting himself with an unsubstantial and flimsy dwelling, and bestowing no more labour on the ground than is required to raise him a scanty crop of barley. The Kabyle, on the other hand, clings as tightly to his rocks as a limpet ; he builds himself a comfortable, sub stantial house, with stone walls and a tiled roof, and changes the rough mountain side into a rich garden. The Arab hates labour and has few manufactures ; the Kab3 le is industrious, and a clover handicraftsman, especially in the working of metals. The Arab lies freely and objectlessly, and pilfers for the love of pilfering ; his statement is value less, except as a means of arriving at the truth by a kind of inductive process. The Kabyle, as a general rule, tells the truth, and unless you are at enmity with him respects your property• He will make a hard bargain with you, but, once made, he will keep to it; unlike the Arab, who, if you leave him a loophole, will wriggle out through it. With strangers there is a mixture of shyness and obsequiousness in the Arab's behaviour ; while about the Kabyle there is an unmistakable air of independence and self-reliance, as if he did not much care what you thought about him, In short, there is little or nothing of the Asiatic about the Kabyle. Even his Mahomedanism is of ea unoriental cast. Though he does not deny the lawfulness of polygamy, ho considers that on the whule a man ought to be content with one wife, and admits the woman to bo a perfectly rational being quite fit to be entrusted with her liberty, deserving of social equality, and not born to do more than her fair share of the work of the household. His form of govern ment is essentially democratic ; the Amin, who corresponds generally to the sheikh among the Arabs, is elected by the universal suffrage of his village. The Amine of all the vil lages of a tribe form its parliament ; and one of the num ber, elected by themselves, acts as the chief of the whole tribe—the head magistrate in peace, and commander of the forces in war. The tribes, again, bind themselves toge ther by a "soff," or league, offensive and defensive; so that, as General Deurnas says, " poliaeally speaking, the Kabyle is a kind of savage Swit z3rland." its to this federal organisation of the tribes t hat he, ss well as Jules w hich in i ts Arabic fGoremrarodf, K'bailtraces stihgenoffireigsinnootfhtihneg nmarree, than The Tribes.-- Aretunzn Rambles in "Cola Africa, REDcAu.
